God knows, I am Team Diana and always have been—but at this point, Charles and Camilla are together, they’re happy, they were clearly meant to be together and most importantly, the boys seem to be fine with it. If they still resented her it would be different but from everything I’ve read, that isn’t the case. (I will …

Their Charles, so humanized in the last season, comes off as cruel, weak, and emotionally immature.

The GOP majority on this committee apparently blocked all efforts to swear in witnesses, so none of the statements were under oath. Gee, I wonder why?

Everything you said is true, although I arrive at a different conclusion on Obama.

“Demilitarize the Police”, “Reform the Police,” and “Say No to Police Brutality” would have all worked better. You want to appeal to more centrists with an eye for history “No cruel and unusual punishment” may have also worked.

Of course he’s fucking right! It’s insane to me that he is getting blowback on this. It’s almost laughable how he’s pointing out the obvious. “Defund the police” as a slogan did exactly what he said, it pushed every single Trump supporter, and probably a lot of mild supporters, to go even harder against the movement,…

I’m glad to see a general consensus here that this slogan is horrible. Any of your suggestions would be a huge improvement. If the people calling for us to “defund the police,” are to be taken literally, then I want nothing to do with that. I live a few blocks from the site of the homeless encampment that occupied a…

I am not personally un-graying baldheadedscallywag - but here is my response:

It astonishes me how badly us lefties are at this type of stuff. As has been pointed out by folks far more clever than I, this is something that the righties are super good at; they find an easy to remember and repeat slogan and they FUCKING HAMMER IT until their base hears it in their dreams.

When I hear ‘defund’ it says to me zero dollars whatsoever toward policing because ‘defund’ has been sloganed by anti-choice nutjobs to mean that organizations like Planned Parenthood must close and receive no federal funding for anything, ever.

Obama is right.

He’s not wrong, though. “Defund the Police,” snappy as it might be, is a vast oversimplification of what that plan often entails (depending on who you ask)—redistributing funds to services that the police shouldn’t be involved with to begin with, like welfare checks and mental illness interventions.  Yes, explaining…

This is why we shouldn’t “reach out” or “build bridges” with these assholes.  They have shown they don’t care about democracy in any form so why should we have anything to do with them?

This is why I say I take Trump’s efforts to steal the election seriously. There are untold numbers of racist chuckleheads like these two all up and down our entire system of govt and as seen here represent an obvious threat to our electoral process. Yes, I do not take any of Trump’s legitimate attempts to win the…

Why are we painting Karlie with this adjacent-to-evil brush? Her husband might be the only good Kushner, and you can’t help what family you’re born into. If/when I ever get pregnant, anyone calling me “daughter of a white supremacist, a narcissist, and a cheating asshole” (three different people!) will shoot to the…

“Perhaps this fog will lift once Trump is reduced to a sweaty, bleating sideshow”

THANK YOU. People treating this like a pathetic joke that will go nowhere... IS EXACTLY HOW WE ENDED UP HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Take it very seriously. Then intent doesn’t matter. The actions do. And regardless of how long the odds are, Trump and all his minions all over the country from Justice of the Supreme Court to local poll watcher are all trying to steal the election for him. That’s what matters. They are trying to do it.

The hysterical policing of another woman’s hair choices is a good exemplar of why no one takes progressives seriously.

Hillsong itself is a moral failure.
